What this shows KNR's Innovation Score is 25.2/100 (17th percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for KNR?

Each dot is one of KNR’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). KNR’s own 10.6 claims/patent is at or below the 12.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where KNR's grants concentrate

KNR System, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under F15B (Systems Acting BY Means OF Fluids IN GENERAL; Fluid-pressure Actuators, e.g. SERVOMOTORS; Details OF Fluid-pressure Systems, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, KNR sits between Knight Shield Sårl and Kobil Systems GmbH.

KNR's three-year grant acceleration

KNR System, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
